We used to have an African American dean, very tall, very thin, very distinguished, whose car broke down once in PA as he was driving down to DC. It was not, not, not a happy experience for him and his wife that day.

One must be careful but some , because of their own situation , must take exceptional steps.

Though I'm not black, I am very polite during a trafic stop. I turn on the overhead lights so the officer can see inside. I put both my hands on the top of the steering wheel in the 10:00 and 2:00 position. I don't reach for my wallet until the officer ask me then I tell him wherein is and that I'm reaching for it.

Window down.

If I were black or any non white, I would be more careful.

Dave
